Thanks to the work of RabbitFurCoat and all the entrants to Unknown Pleasures I, II and III, most of us have discovered songs we will be playing for a long time - and I'm sure some have discovered artists that they will grow to love. Unknown Pleasures has been an enriching experience for me in this regard.

 

So last week I was sitting there making a CD of my discoveries that I could give away as a present and I wondered what would be on other people's CDs if they made one.

 

So here's your chance.

 

From the three competitions list your favourites in this thread - any amount up to 20 please. And order them if you can. This is not a secret ballot. You are not allowed to vote for your own tracks.

 

After a week or so - depending if interest sustains - I will do a count down. Not entirely sure yet how big the countdown will be. It depends on the amount of people who vote.

 

 

Here are the three voting threads which include all entries plus links to videos (copyright RFC 2010)

If it is felt that people who did not take part in any of the three competitions would like more time to consider the unfamiliar tracks then maybe the time should be extended.

I have chosen 16 tracks to vote for. Just ordering them now. UP1 was the strongest in my opinion with UP3 next.

This is based on which songs I have listened to most since their respective contests.

01 PNAU 'Embrace'

 

01 PNAU 'Embrace'

 

02. BSBTRGDCLUB 'Britney'

 

Or maybe not. :drama:

Deadline is negotiable - as in get them in when you can - next week sometime, and it might be extended if lots of people want to keep it open.

 

If you really want a deadline then I set it at

 

 

12.47 GMT Wednesday 1 Dec 2010
